She has some valid points, pretty close to my own view of what TAG got right and wrong.

Already at home, the first of the Limited Edition Formula 1 Solargraph: the Miami GP (WBY1114.FT8084) released today, first day of the Miami F1 GP (with Sprint Race Pole Position by Kimi Antonelli!! 😊)
I love it! 😍 It’s better IRL than in photos. Very good feeling of quality in all aspects, such as the very soft and flexible rubber strap (with an interesting system for holding the first strap flange), the finish and feel of the crown, the impeccable black DLC-coated steel case and pin buckle finish…
And I also like its size: at 38mm is larger than the original Formula 1 (adapted to modern tastes), but not too much bigger. This Formula 1 Solargraph is a tribute to the original Formula 1, and an excellent update 👍🏼
Congratulations Albert....I got mine yesterday also. Somehow this black version looks larger on the wrist than the first White dial bracelet model.
I'm looking forward to getting a few more once they release the next batches of LE.

I’m surprised TH didn’t sync the color of the pit lane clock with the LE release:

Congrats @Anthony.!
Just a few a more you say? Something tells me you'll end up with at least half of the F1 releases this year! 😉

Personally, I think they should've swapped the Miami GP's black F1 release with the Singapore GP's blue release. Blue seems more like the color of Miami and black seems to match a night race like Singapore.

I can easily see you getting 5 or more. You’re already aiming for the 2 Monza releases and how can you not resist getting Mexico to match your OG yellow & black? 😁

Great photos, thanks for sharing! Congrats again @Albert-AMG, looks like a winner and not a bad match for the black Mercedes F1 livery!
Thank you Michael!! 😊
Yes, it’s a good match not only for the black Mercedes F1 but also for the traditional Mercedes-AMG colours: black & red, or black & red & white 😉👍🏼

Do we know what boxes they will come in? Different colours to match the watches like the Kith ones were? Any pictures appreciated!
This is the box of the Miami GP LE. In this case the box matches the watch colour 😉

Interesting commentary, doesn’t mention the biggest issue for me - the flattened off section of case over the lugs looking weird. The hour hand definitely could be a smidge longer but looks better on the Miami than the others. I’m kinda ok with the pricing, $400 is way low given the quality improvements and general industry pricing over the last 30 years, maybe $1000-1200 would have been better?

It's weird isn't it? Look at Albert's original scan above, that hour hand is way short... but it never caught my attention before. I guess this is the problem with scaling a watch up... it doesn't always work. I think the hands are probably fairly in proportion but with more dial they look a bit skinny. And I agree about the lug section, that's my main issue with it and I don't know if I can get over that...

Maybe they scaled the original shape (which was probably made to add strength to the plastic lugs?) and it looked odd, so they took a flap wheel to it.

I think the pvd case hides it well on the Miami (and overall think the Miami looks fantastic) but I’m less convinced by the plain steel case versions.

Yeah I think the coloured versions will look better though I'm concerned the black one doesn't hide it as well as I thought it was going to...
